I purchased these Hyacinths because I found their violet color unique and fascinating, The buds were still closed, and I replanted into CoCo Peat with a thick Seramis drainage layer, and I was rewarded by an exquisite evolvement of the flowers. The color suggests that hese are "Woodstock" but I tend to exclude this now because the flowers I obtained are so accurately shaped. All the single potted bulbs in the shelter had 2 scapes, and now, I do regret hat I did not buy more of them. I have never had so much joy out of Hyacinths, and I shall definitely keep them bulbs. I did not find any information how and when pollination is to be performed in order to obtain the maximum yield of seeds, and I used a thin and soft brush andI turned it gently in the fully open flowers in order to achieve self pollination..
